waterx.gms : Design of a Water Distribution Network (MINLP)

Description

This example illustrates the use of nonlinear mixed-integer
programming. This problem is a variation of the gams library model
water (SEQ=68). This example illustrates the use of nonlinear
programming in the design of water distribution systems. The model
captures the main features of an actual application for a city in
Indonesia.
